Offset not working in category page
-
I have a category page that shows an excerpt of the most recent post and then a short post description of the next three. However for some reason thecode to show the post description includes the main post even thought I have used ‘offset=1’. I must mention that it had been working previously. I am clueless. Help please.
Here’s a link to the page. Not quie finished, Its just a mock at the moment: http://www.olorimag.com/category/absolutely-loving-this/
